You mean the text that states the extremely obvious reality that children learn and understand without any issue on a daily basis? Any child that's ever had a goldfish or a hamster knows this directly. All living things will inevitably die at some point.

The only people reading more into this are the people that think kids are somehow stupid and constantly need to be protected from reality.

I enjoy overanalyzing and theorizing about media as much as the next guy, but this isn't actually part of the text. You as the player are expected to regularly change up your party, why couldn't Green have also just decided to swap Raticate out for any number of reasons?
